o allow env var MAKE_OBJDIR_CHECK_WRITABLE=no to skip writable checks in InitObjdir. Explicit .OBJDIR target always allows read-only directory. o More code cleanup and refactoring. o More unit tests MFC after: 1 week

|
# Possible but unproven explanation:
|
|
#
|
|
# The main target is "all", which depends on "use-inference.to".
|
|
# The inference connects the .from to the .to file, otherwise make
|
|
# would not know that the .from file would need to be built.
|
|
#
|
|
# The .from file is then built.
|
|
#
|
|
# After this, make stops since it doesn't know how to make the .to file.
|
|
# This is strange since make definitely knows about the .from.to suffix
|
|
# inference rule. But it seems to ignore it, maybe because it doesn't
|
|
# have any associated commands.

|
|
# XXX: Despite the error message "don't know how to make", the exit status
|
|
# is 0. This is inconsistent.
